The magnetic coil in the PTO/Blade clutch draws somewhere around 8-amps. The typical battery charging system (i.e. stator & voltage regulator) has a 15-amp output capacity. Even with a battery in excellent condition, should the charging system fail, the PTO clutch will deplete the battery's charge in about hour or so.
How did I know that you would know 🤣. Looks like it is my charging system.....but the battery was bad as well.
Faster in reverse ◀️😮 glad you got some 🌧️
I guess I could mow backwards 🤣. The rain we were supposed to get never really came......it is dry here.....
